hey guys,

I just bought the Captivate.
I know there has been problems with the GPS and that an upgrade fixed that issue.
Someone told me that the issue is still not resolved? whats your experience after the fix?
I waited so long to get this phone only hoping to buy it after the GPS was fixed and now I am worried.

It's been hit or miss with GPS problems so make sure you test it all out at the store before you get it (or get it all tested out the first day if doing it by mail).  Also, couple other tips to look for, get a phone that was built/manufactured after August (many of the problems people have reported seem to correspond with batches from August.

make sure that when you use it do it outside and make sure to leave it on for like 10min because the first time connecting it may take a while
